Nefer Ascension Guide: Pre-Farm Now for Genshin Impact 6.1
Everything you need to efficiently pre-farm Nefer’s Ascension and Talent materials in Genshin Impact Luna I and beyond.
Alex Rodriguez Genshin Impact 6.1: Why Pre-Farming for Nefer Should Start Now
With the anticipated arrival of Nefer—the enigmatic member of the Curatorium of Secrets—set for Version 6.1 (Luna II release), Genshin Impact players have a brief window to prepare for one of the region’s most hyped Dendro characters. As Nod-Krai lore continues to expand and HoYoverse teases more character synergy, pre-farming for Nefer's materials is not just timely—it's essential for anyone eyeing an early, powerful start.
The materials for Nefer’s Ascension and Talents are mostly available before her official banner, making this phase uniquely valuable for resource planners, F2P strategists, and meta chasers alike. With high initial expectations for her Dendro DPS role, maximizing efficiency in the resource grind can mean the difference between day-one “ready” and weeks of catching up.

Step-by-Step: How to Pre-Farm Nefer’s Materials
1. Clear Nod-Krai Map Access
- Unlock all Statues of The Seven and teleport waypoints in Nod-Krai, especially Hiisi Island, to optimize farming routes.
- Prioritize regions with dense gathering nodes based on EarlyGG’s Nod-Krai map guides.
2. Farm Moonfall Silver
- Collect Moonfall Silver across Hiisi Island. Respawns occur every 48 hours (server reset).
- Use Lauma or Aino (if owned) for their regional specialty tracking passives.
- Expect 7–10 full clears for 168 units, assuming no competition or node sniping.
3. Stockpile Fatui Certificates
- Target Fatui Oprichniki spawns at higher difficulties for advanced certificates.
- Convert lower tiers through alchemy; supplement using Stardust Exchange each month.
- Plan at least 4–5 weekly runs to minimize RNG and downtime.
4. Talent Book Domain Runs
- Enter the Lightless Capital domain during Elysium book rotation (check in-game schedule; typically 2–3 days per week).
- Budget resin accordingly: Optimal for players focused on Nefer but also consider future Luna units.
5. Weekly Boss Preparation
- Clear Unresolved Chess Game domain weekly to secure "Ascended Sample: Rook" drops (up to 3/week).
- Early stock aids not just Nefer but other upcoming Nod-Krai characters.
6. Event Monitoring for Crowns
- Participate in every time-limited event prior to Nefer’s banner; Crown of Insight are rare, time-gated, and essential for triple-crowns.
7. Boss Drop Contingency
- The key boss material, dropping from Frostnight Herra, is not available as of Luna I. Mark banner launch date for intensive farming.
Team Synergies & Prep for Day One
While specific kit details are Not stated in official materials as of Luna I, Nefer is expected to slot into rapid Dendro reaction or mono-Dendro teams. Early leaks (see EarlyGG: Nefer 5-Star Leak) suggest notable synergy with characters capable of off-field Dendro or Hydro. F2P-friendly units like Collei or Yaoyao remain viable as enablers, with Nahida and Baizhu being premium Dendro supports by most meta projections.
Keep surplus training books and currencies ready should patch notes confirm Nefer's scaling preferences or ER demands.
Frequently Overlooked Pitfalls
- Overcapping on Common Drops: Certificates require higher-grade versions at later levels; avoid flooding inventory with just the lowest tier.
- Moonfall Silver Map Competition: Nodes are limited per reset; use co-op tactically if you’re racing others.
- Talent Book Scheduling: Elysium books rotate; missing one week may delay full triple-crown by up to a patch.
- Weekly Resource Lockouts: Domains and weekly bosses are resin/time-gated; optimize routines to avoid bottlenecks.
What’s Next: Launch Week and Beyond
When Nefer’s Banner officially arrives, players who have pre-farmed will only lack the new Field Boss drop. For optimal results:
– Plan resin to hard-farm Frostnight Herra at banner release (expected Luna II, exact date TBA).
– Expect a temporary competition spike for world bosses; consider forming co-op groups at server reset (refer to in-game time zone).
– Monitor EarlyGG for official kit details, best-in-slot artifacts, and early-day team rankings, as continued datamining and player testing solidifies her place in the meta.
Key Takeaway
Efficient pre-farming means guaranteed day-one upgrades, freeing multis for artifact and weapon grinding once Nefer goes live.
